If you know me, you know I love a big salad. I am a fan of opening up my fridge and my pantry to see what I have that I can throw together, and very often, canned salmon is in the mix. For this salad, I used another favorite canned salad item: hearts of palm. I add fresh tomatoes and corn cut from the cob for a pop of sweetness, and toss it all with a delicious caper Dijon vinaigrette.
